A decision as to whether the Roose. volt Government's "Little N.R.A." for the coal Industry is constitutional will bo made by the Supreme Court to- morrow
when it will hear simul taneously cases from five American States asking that the Guffey Coat Act of 1935 bo upheld, on the ground that Fedora! Government action is the only possible way of regulating the industry.
The Court will also consider the Саяся of two coal companies who oppose the 15 per cent. ad valorem tax per ton imposed by the Act, the greater part of which is returned to mine-owners who comply with the code for fair competition and regulni- for wages and conditions drawn up by the Coal Commission. The companies argue that the tax is not a true lax, but a method of securing compliance with the "Little N.R.A." Cade to be established for the industry under the Guffey Act.
If the Government with, Bills will most likely be introduced in Congress establishing similar "Little N.R.A.'"

The ever-increasing demand: for ease and riding comfort, and the effect this has had on modern car designs, has led the India Tyre organisation to add another Super Tyre to its already well-proven range. This is the Aero-cushion tyre which, as its name implies, provides perfect cushioning for the car, and gives maximum comfort during fast journeys over any type of road. Geneva : Berlin..
